Aviation, no matter what or how we fly, is inherently dangerous.
I never said soaring was perfectly safe. I wouldn't say that, because
I'm pretty sure it's not true. All I asserted was that BASE jumping is
less safe than soaring in terms of per-hour or per-cycle exposure.
If you can cite peer-reviewed statistics that demonstrate otherwise, I
am certainly open to changing my mind on this.

better run along now and let the sailplane guys argue about sailplane
stuff, leave the base-jumping topics to a relevant forum.........ok?
